I think it’s the other way around, @Dr_Lawrence: inductive reasoning proceeds from the particular to the general, and deductive from the general to the particular. The classic illustration of deductive reasoning is this:
1. All men are mortal
2. Socrates is a man
3. Therefore, Socrates is mortal
That major premise (1) is a generality from which, given the minor premise (2), the conclusion (3) necessarily follows.
Nicely made distinction in answer to the OP’s question.
